University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers will share findings
from one of the most remarkable fossils ever unearthed at a 1:30 p.m. news
briefing Thursday (June 22). The discovery, which will be described in the
journal Science June 23, will be discussed in Room 304 Coker Hall.

Reporters are invited to learn about the research, which involved an
international team of U.S. and Russian scientists. It involves the earliest
known feathers and relates to both birds and dinosaurs.

Parking is available behind Coker Hall in the Bell Tower lot. Reporters
should identify themselves to the person beside the parking lot gate so that he
can let them in. Entrance to the lot is south off South Road opposite the
chemistry department buildings (Kenan Labs).
